    Hahaha, I love those names as well. Also, teach me o’ wise one… how do I get my wife to try driving the car?! Thus far she’s refused to get behind the wheel, I think she’s afraid of one pedal driving. In all fairness she’s 7 months pregnant so things are a bit overwhelming at the moment, and...

    Congrats, great news! I love seeing the new vehicles getting delivered on this thread. It’s been a little over a month since Firebones Princess got delivered (I let my 3 and 6 year old name the car… yeah) and the Fremont build quality is pretty awesome. I’m not sure when the honeymoon period...

    What's everyone's electricity bill increase to/by?

    We are paying about .15/kWh off peak and .18 from 11-8 on weekdays. That’s with special pricing my utility monitors via the free ChargePoint lvl 2 charger they give you when you provide proof of purchase and registration here in VT. It’s around .20/.23 cents without the EV charging plan. I’ve...

    Model Y Mud Flaps (Rear Bolt Issue)

    Since you likely already have the clips out that hold in the cover of the wheel well, you can pull that back and see the nut that breaks free of the weld. I tried various needle nosed pliers and via grips but couldn’t get ahold of the nut to remove the bolt normally, so I sheared the bottom of...

    This looks so good, love the wrap and decal changes. The tint looks great, too.

    Current Delivery Times

    Congrats man! Glad to see you’re through step 1, delivery day rules (most of the time)! Right before the weekend too, that’s awesome. I agree, the steering ratio is super quick compared to my large SUV. I forgot what a small car drives like and it’s definitely fidgety compared to the average...

    Update for you, I got the software upgrade today that shows the heated wiper park as one of the improvements, then found the button. I cannot see the elements however, at least not easily.

    I don’t have a button yet on screen that I can see, but I may be in need of a software unlock for it to show. The delivery operations manager I was working with during the last leg of the journey confirmed it for me and was very confident (and also confirmed I did not get mudflats or PPF, which...

    Sorry to hear they’re not able to supply more info… I’m very familiar with how annoying the complete unknown is. I had about 10 different EDDs prior to adding Carrier Direct, it was a roller coaster of emotion but still preferable to the generic TBD. Good luck!

    I’m pretty confident you’re right, I had TBD right up until I got a VIN twice (rejected a 2021 vin in December and went on hold). I added Carrier Direct in Nov and it changed the EDD to that eternal TBD. I texted my SA asking if they might know approx when it would arrive at the delivery center...

    Delivery update! The car arrived on a hauler yesterday and was a bit dirty (completely expected) but overall great. No panel gaps or alignment issues, QC on the car was great other than a few pieces of tape that were not removed. I did have an issue installing the Tesmanian mud flaps, long...

    Thanks for these resources!

    Model Y Mud Flaps (Rear Bolt Issue)

    Do you mind sharing how you fixed it with the clip nut? I think I just broke the bolt on my rear passenger bumper and the bolt won’t come out (although I was babying it at that point and desperately trying to re-thread it).

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Tomorrow is delivery day, I was expecting it late this week or early next and figured it’d be closer to the latter with the impending storm. I got a text from the carrier that he’ll be here tomorrow midday. It almost doesn’t seem real, too bad I have meetings all afternoon, haha! In other news...
